Anxiety Forum Recording Available

February 27, 2018

On February 15th RRC hosted an Anxiety Forum featuring local Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Jason Ediger. Thanks to the eTV crew, we have a recording available here.  Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services provided ASL interpretation, which is also featured in the recording.

Dr. Ediger spoke about Anxiety in a college context and helped us understand worry, panic attacks, performance anxiety, social fears, and more. He provided helpful tips and introduced coping techniques that so many can benefit from.

Thank you to all who promoted the Anxiety Forum. We had 90 students and staff in attendance!

Additional thanks to the Manitoba Psychological Society and Dr. Ediger for engaging in this public education at RRC.

Up Next: Join us on Tuesday, March 13th in the NDC South Gym from 12-1pm (or via livestream) as we host Zinger Talks Mental Health. Craig Heisinger (Zinger) from True North Sports and Entertainment will be speaking to students and staff about mental health and suicide prevention. More information to come on this blog!
